If you start building your obby above the grey baseplate, your player will just fall harmlessly onto the baseplate rather than dying when they miss their jump. That doesn’t exactly give your player the challenge you want them to have. To remove the baseplate, you’ll need to use the Explorer window.

The Explorer window is typically to the right of your workspace and lists all the objects within your game. You can use the Explorer to select and work with parts in your game, even if you can’t find them in the 3D view.

The Roblox Studio Mod Manager is an unofficial, open-source, custom bootstrapper for Roblox Studio that aims to provide more flexibility for power users who want to make experimental customizations to Roblox Studio, and test new features before they are available to the public.

Deleting the Baseplate

To delete the baseplate:

1. Click the arrow next to Workspace in the Explorer window.
2. Select Baseplate.
3. Press Delete on the keyboard.

Creating a Player Start

The first thing to do when creating a game is determine where players start. The SpawnLocation is where a player appears in the world at the start of the game or after falling off a platform. Without a SpawnLocation, the player might appear somewhere randomly and fall to their doom.

Create a SpawnLocation

1. In the Explorer window, hover over Workspace and click the circle button.

2. Scroll down the drop-down list until you find SpawnLocation and click on it.

3. The SpawnLocation will be created at the exact center of your camera view.

Focus on the SpawnLocation

If parts are too far away from the camera, they can be difficult to work with. Use the camera controls and hotkeys to get a better view of parts you are working with.

To focus the camera on the SpawnLocation:

1. Select SpawnLocation in the Explorer.
2. Press F to focus the camera on the selected part.

Moving the Camera

Now that you have an object in your game, click in the 3D view and move the camera around to get a better view.

Testing Your Game

Playtesting is the process of you or a peer playing a game to make sure everything works and figuring out how to make it even better. It’s a good idea to playtest your game whenever you make changes.

When you playtest:

• Make sure your game works, particularly changes you just made.
• Look for areas that can be improved.

Playtest Your Game

1. Save your game. Remember to change the file name.
2. Click the Play button.
